The move comes after a 24-year-old Cranbourne man was left on life support after he was knocked unconscious at a Southbank nightclub early on Sunday.

Police have charged two men with assault over the incident. The police earlier said the man had died. Police are also looking at setting up drunk tanks at trouble hot spots, and have promised to crack down on licensed venues that serve intoxicated patrons.

Police Assistant Commissioner Gary Jamieson says he hopes the measures will stamp out an increase in bad behaviour.

"We will continue to come up with innovative solutions to try and deal with what we say is a change and deteriorated behaviour of young people," he said.

"The idea of going to Hummers is that it's about trying to measure visible impact. So we've got to try and introduce something which might look different to our current fleet of vehicles."

They're the most obnoxious car on the road, and how these are in any way supposed to curb the violence in the CBD is completely beyond me.

Seems quite pointless. But it isn't the silliest thing ever. Although I am hoping they make the cops wear Judge Dredd style outfits, to give a measurable visual impact. That would be sweet.

Anyone and Hummers probably not... They're a fucking obnoxious car.

But on topic, I think this is actually a good idea. It's about being big and intimidating, which is why people buy Hummers ... They're big, they're intimidating, they're powerful. If you can mentally subdue people you have an easier time keeping control, which in this case means law and order. </keyboard-psychologist>

They're the most obnoxious car on the road, and how these are in any way supposed to curb the violence in the CBD is completely beyond me. Hummer's will congest the CBD even further (they have like a 1km turning circle or something :P) thereby reducing the amount of people in the CBD.

As the number of people in the CBD falls, a multiplier will kick in making it fall even further as with less people in the CBD, less people will want to go there. This will happen until the population of the CBD is 0.

Quote by s.o.u.p!I say it's a good thing, an increased presence does reduce violence, and even if every atomican here comes in and tells me otherwise, there are a lot people who LOVE hummers, even the H3.

Big, brash, easily seen, and will get more respect from the average rowdy punter than an XR.

Presence is a VERY effective method of prevention, simply being there, seen and known about can have a huge effect on peoples actions.

yes

the cbd in baghdad has never been better since they deployed a lot of those big car things there
